The timing is off

I'm like an engine
that isn't running right
cruising along
unsteady, loud

I need an adjustment
from a qualified

person

to 

person

make me purr again
smooth out the rough
edges

the precision
that once ruled the mechanics
is off kilter

the steady roar
has been replaced
by whining and tears

An overhaul
of my engine
of me

is necessary 

to continue cruising
down the highway

and backroads

of life

failure
is imminent
the warning lights flash

mechanical failure
lifelong failure

what's the difference
